No. It was already widely used, discreetly. She was the first to popularize using it cranked up to 11 as an intentional style choice. It’s more apt to say she gave us T-Pain.

From Oxford, the traditional dictionary:

gen·o·cide

noun

the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

What part of that is Israel not doing?

Or we can go with the legal definition from the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide linked from www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml.

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

• (a) Killing members of the group;
• (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
• © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
• (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
• (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The only one in question is the last point, but any single one of those points means it’s a genocide.

Genocide of the natives was top of the list as soon as we formed a country. 😞

Maybe it’ll be good, maybe it won’t. But after the 400+ hours I spent in fo4, I’m willing to commit to another hour to see if the first episode is any good. I’ve spent longer than that hunting for literal trash in-game. :)

If you’re a fallout fan, you’re already on board. Our viewership is a given, and is theirs to lose. But for people who aren’t big fans, having big names attached shows it’s serious business. It’s meant to convince people on the fence that it’s worth an initial watch since there’s money and names behind it so maybe it’s not just “some dumb low budget video game shit.”

It’s good for general protection too. It can soften blows from other humans or just accidental injury while scavenging dilapidated buildings. What we consider to be minor bumps and scrapes now can be life threatening when you have inadequate medical supplies, malnutrition, sleep deprived, no sanitation, etc.

Gas is no longer in prime condition after 3-6 months, but is still combustible for at least a year or two. Old gas will damage your engine over time though. Most of the degradation is due to oxidization, so if the gas were in sealed cans, maybe it could last longer.

But yeah, 5+ years in and most gas is unlikely to work in an engine. You’d have to be making some kind of bio-ethanol at that point.

I disagree, it’s quite performant and cost effective. I work for a very large software company and it scales to our needs very well. However, it is emphatically not the solution to everything nor is it a replacement for all traditional RDBMS use cases. It also takes a quite different mindset when thinking about your data than when using SQL.

IMO what it does really well is handle being a persistent data store for well-formed REST API endpoints. When you understand your access patterns and implement your GSIs correctly, a RDBMS can’t match the performance even with well tuned queries. Dynamo excels at giving you a record set when you know exactly which set of records you want and it’s based on one or two very simple conditions.

Where it falls behind is for data warehousing and reporting use cases. Dynamo is comparatively slow and inefficient when it comes to asking complex questions about the data. RDBMS systems are built for that use case and as such have extensive tools to optimize whatever wild queries you want to throw at it.

If you’re interested in learning about single table design, which is not good for all cases, check out this video. I’ve watched it quite a few times and it’s been the biggest help in wrapping my head around how to do the data modeling for it. youtu.be/KYy8X8t4MB8

Ok my steam deck finally finished updating. Time to go. 😁

I took a week off for Thanksgiving and came back to understand Dynamo DB single table patterns I was stuck on before leaving. Sleep learning is real!
